The Motto Kimono Jacket

Linen long-sleeved kimono jacket with Arabic Braille hand-embroidery. 

Using Arabic braille, the motto ” ملاس ةیرح ةداعس ” or “Peace Freedom Happiness” is hand embroidered with French knots. The embroidery is placed on both sleeves in reference to the phrase “to wear one’s heart on one’s sleeve”, which means to show our feelings and vulnerability. 

The kimono is appreciated for its design and detailing, and also carries a message in an unconventional, non-print form. The Arabic braille embroidery contributes to raising  awareness on visual impairment, and the importance of helping vulnerable people feel included and “seen”, especially during these challenging times. 

Arabic braille was first adopted in the 1950s. Unlike written Arabic, it is read left-to right.
